I enjoy traveling, time with friends, and going to the movies.
About
Keisha
I have had the pleasure of serving students across the K-12 arena for nearly 20 years in varying roles ranging from teacher, Principal and district administrator. With a wide range of experiences in traditional and nontraditional settings, I have successfully supported increased student outcomes and teacher efficacy via the implementation of PLC’s and data analysis protocol. I enjoy opportunities to train and support teachers and leaders in best practices and online learning curriculum design/development. In my spare time I enjoy watching my children participate in their respective sporting activities.
About
Chris
I retired in May 2024 after 30 years full time teaching in a classroom in Georgia. I enjoy sharing ideas to help make a teacher's life better in the classroom. When I am not teaching for Progress Learning, I am either teaching part time in Georgia, traveling with my wife and/or family, or hanging out with my children, grandchildren, and my assorted collection of cats. (You may judge me if you like.). I am excited to help you learn more about our products!
About
Zeke
I am an educator with over 12 years of experience teaching multiple grade levels across Washington State, Florida, Nevada, and Colorado. These diverse experiences have shaped my approach to training and supporting educators with practical tools, clear data, and a strong focus on student success. Outside of work, I love life in northern Colorado with my wife and our beautiful blended family of six children — two of whom are still at home — each with their own feisty little pup, Lucy and Bronco. We enjoy spending time in the mountains, making the most of the outdoors, and traveling to visit family.

About
Deniya Davis
With over 15 years of experience in education, I’ve had the privilege of serving in a variety of roles—from paraprofessional to homeroom teacher to intervention specialist. Originally from Ohio, I come from a family of educators and artists, a background that inspired me to earn Master’s degrees in both Theater and Education. Outside the classroom, I stay creatively engaged through singing in my community choir, painting, and attending local cultural events. I’m thrilled to begin this exciting new chapter as a Progress Learning trainer, where I can continue to support and inspire lifelong learning.

About
LaShavea Groves
I’m a proud Houston native with a strong passion for education. I spent over a decade as a K–8 educator before transitioning into my current role as a trainer, where I’ve spent the past four years coaching and supporting teachers. I truly enjoy collaborating with educators and helping them discover innovative teaching strategies and technology tools to enhance student learning. Supporting teachers in transforming their classroom experiences has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exploring national parks, and traveling internationally to experience new cultures and perspectives.
I’m always excited to connect, share ideas, and continue learning together—here’s to growing and making an impact, one classroom at a time!
